Californian man diagnosed with lung cancer

A man from California was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in his fifties. He had started smoking when he was 13, and had smoked 2 packets of the same brand of cigarettes a day, for most of his adult life.

He said that he has tried to stop several times but resumed after those attempts failed. He claimed that he had been "tricked into smoking" by the tobacco industry, which he said had made him think that cigarettes were cool without making him sufficiently of the danger to his health.

Upon photo analysis geologists believe that the stone eggs are rare, large concretions of the carbonate rock. They were formed, starting from a tiny nucleus in the center, snowballing slowly in the oscillating sea water. The exact ingredients and the purpose of the stone eggs can only be determined through further analysis.

He sued the tobacco company in question and was eventually awarded a sum of money by the court.

He was awarded a total of $3 billion dollars by the Californian court-the largest sum ever awarded in a case of this kind. Members of the jury explained that it had been their intention to "hurt" the tobacco industry.

Lung cancer continues to be a disease with dismal prognosis. Currently in the US, 95% of people diagnosed with lung cancer die within five years. In most of the cases, by the time a diagnosis is made, it is too late. This has prompted constant search for a screening test that will impact survival in patients with lung cancer.
